Starship Exodus (Mini Mafia Game)

[El Diablo]

You'll notice that my priorities on the org would be LotR and WotB (games in the Throne Room).

YOUR PRIORITIES ARE FINDING AND KILLING THE MAFIA

(just kidding)

[shlin28]

Night 3 has ended... (early)

The six survivors of the battle had gone to sleep warily… all of them aware that their life could be snuffed out at an instant by the saboteur.

---

Dawn arrived, and the survivors gathered at the bridge. To their surprise, none of them were missing.

Relieved beyond their belief, the crewmen huddled together to decide who will be sent to the brig…


Alive
– Chaotix27
- Caius
– Warmaster Horus
– El Diablo
– FactionHeir
– Quintus.JC

In Brig
- Lord Winter

This day phase will last until 19:00 GMT tomorrow due to something called school ()

[Quintus.JC]

Still no dead.

[Lord Winter]

No kill?

[Chaotix]

Well something's up here. Why isn't the saboteur killing anyone?

[FactionHeir]

vote:Chaotix Because of what WH said and because you are claiming an oh-so-important role without saying what it is and at the same time trying to avoid Caius' mention much.

[Chaotix]

Fine then. Vote: FactionHeir because you're being way too nosey about other people's roles while not telling much about yourself.

[Warmaster Horus]

Vote:Chaotix27
Half because of your retaliation vote, half because of what I said.

Tally:
Chaotix: 2 (FH, WH)
FH: 1 (Chaotix)

[Chaotix]

Why should I be lynched just because you don't believe I have this special trait? So far, I (with Caius) have tried protect El Diablo from harm so that he wouldn't get killed. He has a very important ability, too. Does one of you have an investigator ability? I invite you to investigate who I am before you lynch me.

[Warmaster Horus]

Unvote:Chaotix
Benefit of the doubt. Plus we haven't heard from other players.

[FactionHeir]

So you were protecting ED last night?

[El Diablo]

Okay so last night I stopped WH for doing anything.

Nothing happened again and once again this does not prove his guilt.

Now i feel that it either WH or Chaotix but that is just a hunch and I am pretty bad at sencing out mafia.

I would say....

vote Chaotix

[Quintus.JC]

I have faith in Ed, if he's wrong then it's his fault, not mine.

Vote: Chaotix

[Caius]

For me, people, we have been fooled by Warmaster Horus. He has pointed that there has not being any kills, and therefore, I think that he tries to make himself a good person using that argument, but he is not. The guilt on WH won't never appear because he is waiting to hit in the right movement. Let's think about this: Who would let alive the role-blocker when he could catch you?

Vote:Warmaster Horus

[El Diablo]

FoS Caius

Helping your buddy?

After Chaotix your next.

[Caius]

Helping your buddy?

Telling the truth.

[Chaotix]

This isn't good.... If I am lynched, it will be bad news for the town. I strongly urge you all to reconsider.

I really have no idea who to vote for myself. The only one that I can truly believe is innocent right now is El Diablo, as he mentioned that he blocked Caius on Night 2 before he knew what I was going say, that I also knew Caius had been blocked because we were working together. Now, however, I don't even know if I can trust him.

Unvote: FactionHeir

Please reconsider your decisions, everyone. I won't vote for anyone yet myself.

[shlin28]

Day 3 ends...

Chaotix is sent to the brig

Night 4 begins.

[shlin28]

Actually I'm only messing with you, this game is now over Please read this write-up and post anything that can be improved upon for this game (apart from getting more kills of course...)



Five days later...

The spy was smiled his crooked smile as he looked upon his quarry, locked behind a quantum shield of infinite complexity.

The remaining crewmen had quarrelled amongst themselves so much that the spy has been able to conduct his search undetected for the Captain-Elect. Without much difficulty, he has realised that none of the remaining crewmen has any clue about the location of Utopia, nor anything that suggests that they held knowledge about anything above their ranks. That would lead to one logical conclusion, that the Captain-Elect has been locked in the brig already.

How very fortunate…

It was not difficult to secure some explosive charges from the wrecked remains of the ship armoury, and soon the spy waited with barely bated breath outside the locked cell which contained the Captain-Elect, a red button held within his fingers.

KABOOM!

The brig door blasted open, and the spy walked calmly in.

“Hello there,” he said cheerfully to one of the two figures in the brig.

The Captain-Elect looked up, but said nothing.

“Hm… that is hardly the right attitude for something this important is it? Guess I’ll just let my Truth drug do its work then…” The spy almost sounded regretful, before roughly taking the Captain-Elect’s throat and shoved a purple tablet into his mouth.

The Captain-Elect’s face went white, and appeared almost to faint, but yet somehow still managed to remain in the sitting position.

“Now, tell me, where exactly is this Utopia thing??” asked the spy.

This time, the Captain-Elect has no choice but to answer.

---

As the last answer was forced from the Captain-Elect’s throat, he finally collapsed under the exhaustion of taking such a dangerous drug.

The spy was even more pleased now, if it was at all possible. The Council must be pleased now… maybe I will even get my own planet!

As he prepared to walk out of this half-ruined brig, a quiet voice cried out from the other side of the brig. “Wait! I…I’m on your side!”

The spy turned around, his custom-made Solarian blaster trained on the person from which the voice was emitted from. “How could you be on my side?”

“I…I…I am a half-Solarian… on my father’s side. I can help you on this ship, I…I can give you information that you can’t find out by yourself!”

The spy looked more closely at this supposed ‘sympathiser’, and saw that this crewman, the one that had been locked in the brig the first day after the attack, indeed has several human features amongst the otherwise alien face.

“Come on then, but beware, any hints of betrayal…” the spy did a motion with his blaster, and walked out. The sympathiser was happy beyond words that he has been spared, and followed the spy out of the brig, without so much as a second glance at the unconscious Captain-Elect.

---

The Guard was angry with himself, how could he had let his charge, his Captain-Elect, the Keeper of Secret be locked in the brig? He had tried again and again the following days to somehow get him out, but to no avail.

“Boo.” a voice said behind him.

“Wha-ARGGGHHHHH!” He had turned around, but as soon as he did, a fist punched into his face.

Before the Guard could react, the shadowy stranger lifted what appeared to be a Solarian blaster, and begun shooting at the defenceless Guard.

BOOM – green blood sprayed onto the deck.

BOOM – a broken tendril flew off, dripping blood as it flew across the room.

BOOM – an ominous crunching sound was heard as the Guard’s bones broke under the relentless wave of shots.

BOOM – a body crashed onto the floor.

“Alien scum…a waste of bullets…” muttered the spy as he walked away, leaving a bloody corpse in his wake.

---

The spy waited on the bridge of the starship “Hunter of the Zephyr” for the ship to complete the journey towards Hiero VI, the Solarian base where the bulk of the Solarian strike-fleet is based whilst they are waiting for his report on the location of Utopia, the secret enemy refuge which must be destroyed, before the aliens can be wiped out forever.

All the others are killed… well, apart from that dumb half-Solarian…he shall prove useful enough… if not… well, my blaster still got enough bullets to ki-

The spy was interrupted from his reverie when the inter-ship intercom suddenly flickered into life for the first time in a week. “Hello? Is anybody there? I repeat, is this the starship Hunter of the Zephyr?”

The spy was shocked, but quickly recovered and spoke into the laser microphone: “Yes…this is the Hunter of the Zephyer, we…are heavily damaged, I…I think there are only two of us left on this ship, we a-”

The voice did not let him finish speaking: “Okay… we will use our tractor beam to bring you into the fleet… activating in three, two, one…”

The spy barely had time to scream before his ship was pulled from light stream, and landed in the middle of the biggest Exarchate fleet gathered in history.

The spy looked at the huge fleet around him through the view screens – battered, broken ships filled his view, some are barely the size of a yacht, whilst others are huge lumbering fighter carriers. Yet they all have one thing in common, they are all clearly fleeing from terrible battles; they are all refugee ships from the Solarian war machine…

Perhaps I can wreck more havoc here before I return to base… the spy smiled his twisted smile, and thought of the untold glory that he would gain if he led this fleet into Solarian hands.



GAME OVER! It is a mafia victory! Congrats to Warmaster Horus!

Here are the roles…

KING – Chaotix27
GUARD - Caius
SPY – Warmaster Horus
COOK – El Diablo
DOCTOR – FactionHeir
JANITOR – Quintus.JC
SYMPATHISER - Lord Winter

Hope you enjoyed this kill-less game!

[FactionHeir]

Damn. I kind of thought Chaotix was the captain, but him and Caius pairing up to kill Quintus was very scummy.

Good game nonetheless, thanks shlin

[Quintus.JC]

Damn! Sorry Chaotix...

I only investigated Warmaster Horus last night and was about to investigate Caius, had I got one of their identities things could of be much different.

Congratulations to the mafia.

Thank you Shlin for Hosting.

[Caius]

DAMN YOU EL DIABLO!

Don't worry mate, I should had voted! If you did not block me, we would had won.

[FactionHeir]

Explain?

[shlin28]

Caius and Chaotix attempted to kill WH on night 2, but ED blocked Caius

One thing I am interested in for me planning for the next game is, did everyone managed to scheme behind the scenes? That was kinda the purpose of the game, I hoped anyway.

Any advice on how to improve this game?

[Warmaster Horus]

Nice game, Shlin. Nice game Very enjoyable, for me at least

For a little write-up, first night I investigated Caius (got 4 on random org, and he was the 4th player after me). Second night I investigated FH (I think; don't quite remember...). Since Caius was inactive during the first day, I hoped to pin the absence of kills on him. Third night I tried to get him myself, since he was active again and he was the Guard, but I was blocked! Gah!

Good game, though.

[FactionHeir]

shlin: Quite a bit of scheming. QJC, ED and myself were a little group, so we knew who attacked QJC night 3, because ED blocked WH and I protected QJC.
The investigative ability of the spy was a very nice touch.

[shlin28]

It actually begun as a simple game with one King, one Guard, one Spy and 4 townies.

But then I thought the townie side is overpowered, so I added the investigate ability to the spy.

Then I thought the spy was overpowered, and so added the detective and the doctor.

And then I thought the mafia side is too weak, so I added a sympathiser.

And then I added a blocker to balance it out...

[FactionHeir]

I think the more people have a role, the more interesting the game gets because then everyone is involved.

What's the ability of the Doctor (aka Faction Heir)?

I think the more people have a role, the more interesting the game gets because then everyone is involved.

Exactly, it keeps everyone involved, alot of the resent mini mafia games are set out like that. Another upside to this is that everyone's PM is different so it's harder for town to root out the mafia by the age old simple PM quoting.

[FactionHeir]

You mean the PM quoting that almost got you killed last time?

My ability was to protect people. What else would I be doing?
